"Henrique, IMO you may not be as "smart" as some members about some things,
but probably smarter than other members about other things.
"'Intelligence' itself is difficult to define and, therefore, to measure.
I
know several people who are "exceptionally knowledgeable about science and
technology" - but whom I personally (LOL!) do not consider to be
intelligent
in an interdisciplinary way."
I would prefer not to have the content of my formal address to the list
reduced to anything less than what it was intended to be. It is not about
who is more intelligent than another, or who is better at not making
typographical errors.
Thank you for your courtesy,
Natasha Vita-More
